Hi,

I can't found a documentation to how use dd, i have a Win PE 10 and want to use dd to read/write on physical drive or partition.

Can you explain how to ?

it's not possible to use \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0, dd say :
dd: openning '\\\\.\\PHYSCALDRIVE0': no such file or directory

i have escaped with double quotes and same problem.

Thanks :-)

Hi, I have the same issue.

I do not know how to access PhysicalDrive. I am starting to be convinced that GOW is not able to deal with "block" devices in MS Windows manner.

Best Regards
